Fil-Tec Glide 1WG11 Warm Grey 11 Thread: The Darkest Warm Grey for Deep Traditional Neutrals

The Deepest Warm Grey

At position 11 in the Warm Grey series, Glide 1WG11 Warm Grey 11 is the furthest reach of the warm grey family into the dark value range -- a very dark warm grey that reads as near-charcoal with warmth. Where Nickel (15497) is a dark warm grey, WG11 goes deeper still, serving the very darkest warm grey fabrics that exist before the near-black range. Its warmth distinguishes it from the cool Lead Grey at the same value level: on warm dark grey fabrics, WG11 integrates naturally where Lead Grey's cool quality would create a slight temperature mismatch.

Frequently Asked Questions

WG11 or Lead Grey CG11 on very dark grey fabric?

Same value, opposite temperature: WG11 for brown-cast warm charcoals, Lead Grey for blue-cast cool ones. A stitched test line makes the mismatch obvious immediately.

WG11 or Nickel?

Nickel is a step lighter with a browner nickel-metal cast; WG11 is the deeper near-charcoal. If Nickel shows light against the fabric, move to WG11.

When do I leave WG11 for the BLK series?

When the fabric stops reading as "dark warm grey" and starts reading as "almost black" -- that is Shadow territory.
